IFacts事实
A New York limited liability company operating a wellness business in Manhattan proposed to furnish treatment space, reception, scheduling, information technology and administrative support to a family nurse practitioner who would treat his own patients on the company's premises. The practitioner initially tendered a professional limited liability company as the contracting party. Diligence showed that the State Education Department had declined consent for that entity's name and organization, that a second entity named in his papers had no filing of record with the Department of State, and that his federal tax identification number was issued to a third name.一家在曼哈顿经营健康服务的纽约有限责任公司，拟向一名家庭执业护士提供治疗场地、前台、预约、信息技术及行政支持，由该执业护士在公司场所诊治其本人的病人。该执业护士最初以一家专业有限责任公司作为签约主体。经尽职调查发现：州教育厅未批准该实体的名称及组织形式；其文件中提及的第二家实体在州务厅并无登记记录；其联邦税号登记在第三个名称之下。

IIQuestions Presented争议问题
(1) May a company that holds no professional license provide space and services to a licensed practitioner, and be paid for them, without engaging in the unlicensed practice of a profession or in prohibited fee-splitting? (2) Who is the proper contracting party where the practitioner's professional entity lacks State Education Department consent?（一）不持有专业执照的公司，能否向持牌执业者提供场地及服务并收取费用，而不构成无照执业或违法分成？（二）执业者的专业实体未获州教育厅批准时，应以谁为签约主体？
